Hey Nanuq! I asked after you only yesterday.

Sorry, m'dear ... I've been busy as a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Busy as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs?

Busy as a one-armed paper hanger?

How's THAT for evocative speech? :tu:

You've been conquering Poland???

(Only history buffs will get this. :p)

Seriously, though, that last side shot of the "bubble" -- if you ever make that into wallpaper size, please post it. I'm so there. :wub:

FOLLOWUP: Thanks! My desktop looks gorgeous.

Wow thats an awesome superdome!!! So whats the verdict? Superfranken? Im still not up to speed on these vintage models yet but this one looks pretty damn good to me. The white dial and hands throw it off a little but thats an easy fix if you want to age them a little. Nice looking watch regardless.

Interesting TOG... The bezel is nice, the insert really doesn't look that bad... (early/contract/proto?)... Swiss - T<25 is correct... I seem to recall seeing a "silver" dial and hands TOG, but it was "pencil-style" hands with the bubble on the end of the seconds hand... crown should be Twin-lock, but looks to be later with the smaller coronet... now that we've been introduced, can we take a peek between the lugs and see some of that bubble back now? Should be easy since it's missing my favorite bracelet.

The TOG looks pretty good to me. The case is quite new and has fairly sharp edges... maybe it wasn't used a lot and never got serviced. The crystal looks pretty new or at least not 30+ years old... so that one got replaced.

The rest... guess it's a nice watch and i couldn't tell if it's a 100% gen or frankenwatch... but it is nice :rolleyes:

I only have one more question? And I am pretty sure I know the answer already... A260 or A296?

I gonna guess early 1953 with an A260, and since that was a confusing year the serial could be either between 116XXX and 132XXX, OR between 84XXXX and 94XXXX... or...

OK, $15K is cheap, definitely 1953, the serial is 73XXXX, and the crown is the only thing newer, but not by too much, except now you've added a bracelet and end pieces to the mix... and the bracelet and end pieces are wrong.. (the original x80's left their wear marks deeply on this one...)
